For being a sequel to Onimusha 1, this game certainly does a good job and improving stuff: better gameplay, better issen mechanics, story's very good, considerably longer, better replay value and better horrible voice acting. Not to mention it took some risks like the gift system but at the same time it kind of feels undercooked, since you could just ignore it alltogether but if you do then don't expect any help if a boss starts kicking your ass and can sometimes lead to some awkward moments where a character gets introduced into the story and then you don't know what happens to them next because you didn't gift him enough items. This is a title meant to be replayed multiple times since it's impossible to see all the alternate paths in one playthrough, also soundtrack is not as amazing as 1's but it's still good. A good sequel all things considered.
i got this game in japanese and didnt understand anything
Gogandantisu ME CAGO EN TUS MUERTOS VIVOS
Propuesta más que digna, pero con ideas llevadas a medias con unos sistemas con ideas absurdas
Buen Juego
Very interesting that different characters help you throughout the game. I still don't know how this choice happened.
The game has different paths depending on which characters helped. Interesting. Also feels more balanced with how much orbs you get, its also harder than the first with far better boss fights. The phantom zone is far better than the demon realm in the first too but its still not very good.
Play Time: 9 hours 7 min
Souls: 139310
Defeated: 1226
Critical: 40
Phantom realm: 41/41
Scenario: 63%

Primeiro jogo da franquia que joguei, me apaixonei logo de cara. Varias armas com poderes diferentes e ainda num Japão feudal com uma ambientação muito foda.
The controls kept me from beating it in 02 now I am hoping a older more mature me can just push past that and beat it.
An amazing sequel, expanding the universe and gameplay (now you can Isshin counter the bosses too). It's full with replay value, if you wanna see all the history archs
The opening cutscene is so sick good lord.
Onimusha 2 has such a unique combination of flavors; the crispy digital hack and slashery is supplemented with so many tasty rpg treats, especially your quaint little town and tavern and your new group of funky buddies. The character models and animations are probably the best on the PS2. One of my absolute favorite things to do in a video game is trading items, and the Gift system is at the core of how you progress this game’s story and achieve alternate endings. Really great stuff here from Capcom.
